Hawaii HB2356 aims to help ex-offenders gain employment by issuing certificates of suitability for employment.

Hawaii HB2356 seeks to address barriers to employment for ex-offenders by amending state statutes to require the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation to issue certificates of suitability for employment. These certificates will serve as evidence of fulfillment of sentences, completion of employment pursuits, successful rehabilitation efforts, diminished likelihood of recurrence, and readiness for employment opportunities. The bill also mandates collaboration with state and federal agencies and private employers to promote the use of these certificates.
